  • Patent number: 9633063
    Abstract: A redaction process obtains redaction data indicating content to be redacted in a document. In addition, the redaction process obtains non-redaction data indicating content not to be redacted in the document. Furthermore, the redaction process obtains proximity data indicating proximate expressions to be matched against the document. In this manner, the redaction process processes the redaction data, non-redaction data and proximity data against the document to produce a redact list and a potential list. Upon receiving user selections from both the redact and the potential lists, the redaction process applies a redaction function to the document to produce a redacted version of the document.

  • Patent number: 8739242
    Abstract: A system for enforcing rights management policies in a collaborative environment is provided. The system may reside at a collaboration host and may include a session manager to manage a collaborative session associated with a plurality of participants, a shared view detector to detect a request to distribute shared content to participants of the collaborative session, a policy module to obtain a rights management policy associated with at least a portion of the shared content, a filter generator to generate a filter based on the obtained rights management policy, and a shared view distributor to distribute the shared content to the participants of the collaborative session together with the filter.
